The Physics of the Future - Dr. Michio Kaku

Author and physicist Dr. Michio Kaku spoke at the Museum of Science on March 23, 2011. A professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York and co-founder of string field theory, Kaku is also the author of various science books including: "Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century", "Hyperspace", "Parallel Worlds", "Physics of the Impossible", and The "God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything".

Dr. Michio Kaku, an American theoretical physicist, science communicator, popular futurist, and holds the position of professor of theoretical physics at both the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center. He has authored numerous books on physics and related subjects and is a regular guest on radio, television, and film.

A visionary physicist known for his theories on spacetime and future technology.

[kiberenigestsebez]

This talk was in 2011. As he predicted did chips cost pennys by 2020? And many other predictions of his did came to pass ?

[tanbui]

Love Dr. Kaku as a physicist and a communicator.

I love listening to Dr Kaku as he gives me hope for the future of the planet. As the year is now 2024 I wish to raise a practical matter of driverless cars. While many think this is the future for automobile travel it has been found that as I live in Australia and we have a marsupial called a kangaroo. Kangaroos have NO road sense! They can hop out in front of a car suddenly and at any instant causing hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of damage. I live in a lovely country bushland part of Australia where this is a problem. I wonder if someone has found a way around this? If cars become airborne, the problem with kangaroos would disappear but then who would control the air-space for when cars can take to the air?

wow michio kaku is 64 here. he looks late 40s

[ericparrish]

Mr. Miagi...👋🤔where have all my friends gone🎉 Have you seen the kamasutra kid?

[balajib]

Future physics nobody can understand..

[fleabaglane]

Most of his predictions are 20 40 years or more away

So much of this technology - will have to be powered by energy resources - which we are pillaging, at every second - these resources will not last eternally. It is said - in Raja Yoga circles - that this civilisation, based on electric power and the nuclear version - is destined to fall. And then. Humans will have to regain the love for Nature and work with her - with the real humility needed. Spirituality will take on a central part - of this new thinking and doing. May it be so !
